(CajunKing) Most of you are familiar with the infamous Darwin Awards and the creative ways that most of the recipients achieve their status as a Darwin Award recipient (posthumously).<br> &nbsp;<br> Well now let me tell you of a recent ALMOST award recipient.<br> &nbsp;<br> "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown or Pumpkin Head rides again! or Gourd to Death"<br> &nbsp;<br> Each year the ALMOST recipient loves to carve pumpkins, and loves to trick the trick or treaters, loves to decorate his house for the annual beggar's night.<br> &nbsp;<br> The ALMOST recipient thought it would be a great costume idea to get a LARGE pumpkin, hollow it out and cut a large hole in the bottom of the pumpkin so that his head would fit inside.&nbsp; Then he could carve it and wear it at the annual Halloween parade at a local town.<br> &nbsp;<br> So time came for the ALMOST recipient to create his master piece, the hole was cut in the bottom and the goop was all scraped out.&nbsp; Now came the time to try it on and mark the area for the eyes, nose, mouth.<br> &nbsp;<br> So with NO ONE else at home, he lifted this large pumpkin over his head and slid it down over his face.<br> &nbsp;<br> Then IT happened, with the suddeness of a broken shoelace, this horrible sucking sound occured and the pumpkin suddenly moved no further, it had sealed itself around the head and face of the ALMOST recipient.&nbsp; Creating a vaccuum and causing the ALMOST recipient to become a little panicked.&nbsp; He could not breathe, He could not get the pumpkin unsealed from his face, he was really starting to panic.&nbsp; he had forgot to cut ANY air holes first.<br> &nbsp;<br> After what seemed to be an eternity inside the pumpkin of death, finally he was able to wriggle a finger under the pumpkin and released the vaccuum.&nbsp; the inrush of air was intoxicating and life giving.<br> &nbsp;<br> He struggled for another moment or two before gaining the upper hand and finally got the pumpkin off his head.<br> &nbsp;<br> yes folks a few moments longer and the world would have reported...<br> &nbsp;<br> "Man Gourd To Death" and other such funny headlines.<br> &nbsp;<br> To this day the ALMOST recipient has vowed NEVER to put another pumpkin over his head, he has stayed away from Psycho Killer Gourds and such other crazy vegetables.<br> &nbsp;<br> How do I know this story to be true?????<br> &nbsp;<br> <img src="http://www.roadfood.com/insider/photos/12930.jpg" /><br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> Yep.....<br> &nbsp;<br> CajunKing was the ALMOST recipient&nbsp; <img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/blushing.gif" alt="" data-smiley="<img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/blushing.gif" alt="" data-smiley="[:I]" />" /><img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/icon_smile_blackeye.gif" alt="" data-smiley="<img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/icon_smile_blackeye.gif" alt="" data-smiley="[B)]" />" /><img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/blushing.gif" alt="" data-smiley="<img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/blushing.gif" alt="" data-smiley="[:I]" />" /><br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m758010.ashxFindPost/758010Thu, 24 Oct 2013 18:51:35 GMT
